Bug Description
The package only builds on architectures that are not supported in Ubuntu:
Package: mac-fdisk
Architecture: m68k powerpc ppc64
...
Package: pmac-fdisk
Architecture: powerpc ppc64
...
Package: mac-fdisk-cross
Architecture: i386 m68k
...
Package: pmac-fdisk-cross
Architecture: i386 m68k
...
As expected, it doesn't have any binaries built in the archive, but it still shows up in update-excuses.

Prior to its removal from lunar, it was built on i386. Since the source had disappeared from mantic, reintroducing it (with the new Debian upload) doesn't automatically re-promote it to the i386 packageset.
I'm not sure why the -cross binary is only built on i386 and not other more recent archs. I'm not sure whether, if the binary existed, it would be useful to anybody. But we should do one of two things here:
- remove the package and blacklist it, so it never comes back
- add it back into the i386 whitelist so it gets built
The second actually does not preclude the first so I'm going ahead and doing it now. If you think the package should be blacklisted, feel free to set the bug back to triaged. Otherwise please close the bug.
